Congratulations!!! You made it! No lecture from me. Diet soda is fine and in fact, I am so impressed that you get yourself through your challenging time of day. I was a big time night compulsive eater in my day and it was the hardest of all my bad habits to break. Some people have a glass of wine at the end of the day to unwind. I had a giant bowl of pasta or box of cookies! lol!

Seriously, well done. I hope today has been as rewarding for you.

p.s. diet soda was the only way my husband was able to stay on his Cambridge program last year when he lost his 35 pounds. He would worry about it being unhealthy, but I would remind him that with his health history, (triple bypass and vascular disease..pre-diabetic) being 35lbs overweight was far more unhealthy!
